    P38 engine problems and I don't know where to turn

    Both heads coming off tomorrow and thanks to everyone on this great forum it's all back together properly (Until tomorrow) I'm taking pictures as I take them off, get them on the bench and put back on so once it's done I'll make a post. I'm doing the mechanics myself and an engineer friend is...

    P38 engine problems and I don't know where to turn

    Well wonders will never cease, a few cut fingers later and the plenum chamber removed I have worked out (With your kind help) that indeed it does fit on the wrong way. I have turned it round and now (Other than the filler cap being opposite) I can correctly identify where all the pipes go. Now...

    P38 engine problems and I don't know where to turn

    Yes I'm very upset to say the least, as for yours being a bit rough round the edges, I know where there is one up for grabs for a grand....LOL Looking at your pictures it does look like the plenum is the wrong way but how is that possible? Also my filler cap is on the other side, has anyone...

    P38 engine problems and I don't know where to turn

    I've found it, right at the back of the plenum on the passenger side. Now I've got an exposed piece of rubber hose with a zip tie still attached. So am I right in thinking that all I need is to connect this to the plenum valve in picture 2? Then if that's the case and picture one is correct all...

    P38 engine problems and I don't know where to turn

    Thanks for your reply, but I'm non the wiser. The regulator has no space to plug into and under the throttle housing I can't see where the water feed would go either. In answer to your 'I think under the plenum is the wrong way round' Well every picture I've seen of the p38 engine has the oil...

    P38 engine problems and I don't know where to turn

    I've added 4 photos. 1 Are the pipes connected correctly? 2 On the plenum cover left hand side, what pipe goes here? 3 On the rocker cover left hand bank, what goes here? and does it connect to picture 2? 4 Hardened plastic water pipe, comes from the bottom of the expansion tank but where...

    P38 engine problems and I don't know where to turn

    Hi Guys and Girls, I'm new to the forum and have a major problem with my 4.6 1998 P38. The left head gasket went and I used a mechanic to sort it, trouble is that he took so long to do the job he didn't know where all the pipes ended up going, so in his infinite wisdom he blocked a couple off...

    P38 problems and I don't know where to turn

    Hi again, Yes, I'm sorry. I should have introduced myself first. I put it in the general land rover chat because it said it would be moved if in the wrong section. I'll re post it in the Rangie section (When I find it) and yes a couple of people have said take it back to him but to be honest...
